Former LAPD officer on rampage in So Cal
http://www.cnn.com/2013/02/07/us/lap...html?sr=fbmain
(CNN) -- A former Los Angeles police officer who police say has violently threatened his former colleagues shot at least two officers early Thursday, killing one, sparking a huge manhunt in Southern California, according to authorities. Christopher Jordan Dorner, 33, is also wanted in a double slaying Sunday in Irvine, California. The California Highway Patrol issued an alert Thursday morning urging officers in several Southern California counties to be on the lookout for Dorner after the overnight shootings. Two officers in Riverside were shot, one fatally, police there confirmed to CNN. CNN affiliate KTLA reported another officer was shot in Corona, California. Irvine police identified Dorner on Wednesday as the suspect in the February 3 deaths of Keith Lawrence and Monica Quan in Irvine. Dorner also has made violent threats against other Los Angeles police officers, the agency said Wednesday. "I will bring unconventional and asymmetrical warfare to those in LAPD uniform whether on or off duty," Dorner allegedly wrote in a lengthy letter promising retribution against the department, where he worked from 2005 until 2008. An LAPD source provided the document to CNN. The letter writer claimed he was terminated for reporting excessive force by a fellow officer, and said his attacks were retribution for his termination, as well as a culture of racism and violence he says continues within the department. He called the attacks against police "a necessary evil that I do not enjoy but must partake and complete for substantial change to occur within the LAPD and reclaim my name." Los Angeles police warned people who encounter Dorner not to approach him, saying he is likely "armed and extremely dangerous." "Our department is implementing all measures possible to ensure the safety of our LAPD personnel, their families and the Los Angeles community, and will continue to do so until Dorner is apprehended and all threats have been abated," police said in a statement. CNN's Mallory Simon and Deanna Hackney contributed to this report. |

So you think that's how this is all going to play out, getting taken out with a drone missile? I highly doubt it.

NewChief is right - we have a guy that was probably wronged, but who ultimately also has a hell of a persecution complex and delusions of grandeur. And yeah, I bet he was a bit of a militant prick that was no fun to work with. I'm sorry, Tiger - you may be good, but you ain't that good. You're not going to just get the LAPD to scrap their playbook because you've read it before. Even a shitty plan is going to work with large numbers and technology on their side. Even if he does have a .50 cal, he's not going to shoulder-mount the thing and take on the National Guard. And seeing as how the only person he's actually managed to kill during this rampage was a woman and her boyfriend and not any of the armed, trained officers he's targeted, well something tells me the guy isn't nearly as good as he thinks he is. He'd have been smarter to just steal another boat and tool down to Mexico.

His job on his last deployment was to protect a fixed asset. He's not really what you probably think of when you hear "sniper." He's actually much more dangerous than that. He's been trained in a variety of skills including wilderness/urban survival, knowledge of high and low tech weaponry, tactics and strategy, military history and police procedure. The mention of his marksmanship rank is a ploy by the media to interject as much drama into this story as they can, what it really means is that he is proficient with his firearms. The truth is that if he doesn't want to be found...he won't be. The real danger is that (according to his manifesto) he's not hiding and trying to get away, he's maintaining a tactical position while inflicting the highest possible casualty rate. You should feel happy that he's not coming for you. I know that I wouldn't want to go after him. I seriously doubt that our military forces want to either. But they might have to eventually. |
